Castle Hotels in Germany
Castle hotels in Germany are more abundant than in most other
countries. Castles have long been a part of German culture which
were used as palaces in the earlier centuries and have now turned
into hotels. The government has realized that turning these castles
into hotels will help them in their maintenance in a much better
way.

Apart from the government some of these
castles are still managed by the old families that have
been a part of the fort for long.

If you have a glance at the history of Germany then you will
realize that it was divided into many provinces and states before
the 19th century. Each province was governed by a separate ruler
or a king and therefore a lot many castles are found all over.
It's incredible to see that there are about 5000 castles in Germany
out of which many have turned into hotels. The castle hotels in
Germany are pretty much family oriented and have a great atmosphere.
Mostly located in the country side these hotels are not that
far from the city and thus can form a perfect place for you to
stay wherein you can enjoy the scenic beauty from the castle itself.
The choice of a room may vary from person to person however it
is always recommended to have a room in the castle. If you have
a problem of climbing stairs then you need to inform the manager
before hand so that you can book a room at the ground floor.
With excellent scenic background some of the castle rooms have
attached bathrooms whereas others have a common bathroom. The
rooms having a common bathroom are available for a cheap price
and are mainly targeted towards people who cannot afford to spend
more but would love to take a sleep in a castle hotel.
For most part of the year the weather normally remains cool and
therefore there is very little requirement of an Air conditioner
in the hotel room. Also the walls of a German castle hotel are
thick enough to restrict the entry of sunlight thereby keeping
the weather inside cool.
The approach to all these castles is really easy by usage of
public transport like trains and buses and of not then you can
hire a private taxi to reach the castle hotel. Castle Hotel Hugenpoet,
Castle Sababurg, Castle Hotel Auf Schönburg, Castle Colmberg,
Castle Hotel Stahleck are some of the famous castle hotels of
Germany.
Castle Hotel Auf Schönburg is one of the UNESCO's world
heritage sites which has river Rhine in the background. Castle
Hotel Hugenpoet has a 5 star rating and is known all over the
world for the kind of services it provides. The castle has a multi
cuisine restaurant and has some of the best antique furniture
in the rooms. Thus we find that castle hotels are seen in almost
each and every part of Germany and if you happen to visit the
place and do not manage to stay at a castle hotel then you have
probably missed something.
